JERSYGRL111 Posted January 16, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hi guys...i've searched and read alot of posts regarding upgrades and understand I probably have no shot...anyway I've booked a balcony on the 10th deck of the Spirit for March 10, 2007...my question is this...I'm considering upgrading to a mini suite...is this possible? it is my first cruise my bf's 3rd but i would like to surprise him with a mini suite...is this a good idea? Should I call NCL directly and see what they say/do? Let me know if any of you have advice or did something similar...thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heelfan94 Posted January 16, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2007 You can certainly call NCL (if you booked with a travel agent then they need to call for you) and see how much it would be to upgrade to a mini. You can go online and see if there are mini's available for your date before you make the call: https://seaweb.it.ncl.com/consumer/ Good luck and let us know how it turns out. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizinwithkids Posted January 16, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Oh, come on now. You're going on a cruise. Pretend the mini-suite would have cost you thousands of dollars. It wouldn't have been worth it and life would be good again.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heelfan94 Posted January 16, 2007 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2007 If it's just the two of you, a Balcony will be perfect. Take the money you would have spent on the upgrade and treat him to Le Bistro and do some fun shore excursions. Have a great cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake114 Posted January 16, 2007 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Been on the Spririt twice, and to the best of my knowledge, there are NO mini-suites on the Spirit..... Great ship, though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like you're right. The next step up from a Balcony is an AD Penthouse, and I'm assuming the price jump would be pretty big. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the upsell desk was in "Don't call us, we'll call you" mode. Could be wrong, though.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong, though.:) Some people on here have said that, maybe they call too much. LOL but I have not found that to be the case. Having agent ask or let them know you are interested in an upsale has been fine, just not constant pestering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha. ;) It sounds like the OP could definitely inquire about any open penthouses or above. I know when we booked our Sun cruise, we called just a few weeks from sailing and got a great deal. We had called to book a mini-suite and were offered an AD at a great price. I guess closer to sailing they're more willing to bargain? Who knows how it works for sure. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
